A professional development program that provides students with summer internships in Paris, Berlin, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Tokyo, Santiago and Beijing. Past participants in our program have interned in finance, marketing, and non-profits at top companies like Microsoft, PwC, Morningstar, Deutsche Telekom, and BBDO.

These ten-week, paid internships are open to all students with a background in French. The internships are organized through the Groupe Ecole Supérieure de Commerce Dijon Bourgogne. Selection of students is made by the Pamplin College of Business but open to all students. The duration of the internships is June 1st to August 15th. The coordinating school in France will attempt to match students' interests with jobs in the Dijon area. For more information contact Dr. Reed Kennedy.
